Is it common to be lightheaded and dizzy four weeks post op after TT, lipo and Breast lift?

Question

I had drainless TT and developed a seroma which my surgeon is treating with aspirations.

Steven J. Rottman, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. No, it is not normal to feel lightheaded and dizzy four weeks following a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast. These symptoms are often related to anemia and you need to be evaluated by your plastic surgeon. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question.Although the mommy makeover combination you had is a big surgery you should not be having dizziness 4 weeks after your surgery.  You should see your surgeon first and then your internist if necessary.  Make sure you are well hydrated and you need your blood count checked.Thanks

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

A mommy makeover is a physiologically significant combination of operations. Dizziness however might be a sign of anemia and should be reported to your surgeon.

No, at 4 weeks post op, dizziness is not normal. Schedule an appointment with your surgeon so that he or she can assess you in person. My best,

You may be experiencing something known as “fluid shift”, which can
lead to internal dehydration; this is common after undergoing multiple procedures.I would encourage you to carefully monitor
your fluid intake, watch for unexpected bleeding or other changes, and schedule
a follow-up visit with your plastic surgeon to rule out other complications.
